Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
TROUBLE IN MOTOWN (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and looks sure to run well again. Can make it back-to-back wins. BOLD BUCKEYE (2) is yet to miss the placings in six starts, including three wins. Has not been produced since he finished second over 1106m at Mahoning Valley on January 16. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. REIGNING DREAM (1) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. MOMMA K'S BOY (3) should be at his peak after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.

Second-up. Comes off a 61-day let-up. First-up after five months favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at this track April 23 over 1106m defeating Reigning Dream carrying 52kg at $1.80. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Belterra Park on September 5 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Clean Machine with 54.5kg at $1.80. Looks a big chance to add to the impressive recent run.
